Maybe not an essential to breastfeeding, but once you get one you'll wonder how you could have survived without it. I didn't use mine because my lactation consultant showed me how to arrange a few pillows, telling that was better than any expensive nursing pillow. And I thought, "this works, why mess with a good thing?"
But after weeks of struggling with unusually long nursing sessions with my latch-challenged son, my husband says, "Why don't you try the boppy?" Why? Because I have my carefully arrange pillow system, thank you. And this is as comfortable as it's going to get. But I gave it a shot and WOW! After the first time I was hooked. I didn't have to support my baby's body as much, and within a couple of weeks was even able to nurse with one hand free.
The Boppy pillow allows me to sit in many more positions, since now I only have to worry about ONE pillow and can easily adjust it. Also, now that he's a little older, I use it toprop him up to sit and face me. Also, he likes to lay on it with his chest supported, which frees his hands for grabbing fun things to shove in his mouth.
I chose this particular nursing pillow because it doesn't have any straps or crazy add-ons. I just wanted something simple. I chose this cover design because it's super soft and thick. I'm sure it feels nice on his bare back when he nurses in just a diaper. And with all the adorable baby stuff you get as a mommy, it's nice to have a classier, more adultish design. My son loves the three little bears on it and tries to eat them.
The covers washes well. I wash it in cool water and drip dry. It dries quickly, within a few hours. I haven't found that I need a second cover.
I would definitely recommend this pillow to any mother, especially if you're nursing. Have fun with it! You'll be surprised by how such a simple design is so awesome.
